From: Planning Department
Subject: Planning Commission Hearing on December 12, 197E
Date: December 7, 1978
The Planning Commission Hearing on December 12th is being held to 1) Finish •
action on Housing Plan Implementation Items D-F and 2) Implementation of
Environmental Design and Open Space Plan
At its November 21st Hearing, the Planning Commission was unable to complete
action on Items D-F of the Housing Plan Implementation (see #4 under the November
17th staff memorandum) , so these items will be dealt with first on the agenda for
Tuesday, December 12th. Please bring your copies of the staff reports for these
items.
D - Location of Assisted Housing
E - Tigard's Fair Share of Low-Income Housing
F - Reduction of Pavement Width Standard for Local Streets and
Change of Utility Location Requirements
The Planning Commission determined at its study session on October 24th to postpone
action on implementation of the adopted Environmental Design and Open Space Plan
until after the Park Board had reviewed the staff reports and made its own
recommendations. The Park Board met on October 31 and November 7, with 4 and 5 members
attending each night, respectively, there are now 10 members on the Board (which
is therefore short one member) , so the meetings proceeded without a quorum.
However, on all the items discussed by those attending there was a basic consensus
about desirable modifications of staff proposals.
In view of the Planning Commission's desire to hold a hearing on the proposed
implementing measures without a study session, the enclosed drafts should be
especially reviewed carefully prior to Tuesday, December 12th. They incorporate
the suggested revisions of the Park Board to the original staff proposals,
except where otherwise indicated. Please bring your copy of the City Code so the
proposed revisions can be better understood.
